Weather has been a storyline of this Olympic women's soccer tournament and it looks like the gold medal game could continue that trend. It's raining right now in Beijing, and although it has definitely tapered off quite a bit in the afternoon, there is a 40% chance of rain at kickoff time. Still, as always, both teams have to play in it and the U.S. team had dealt with its share of adversity this year and this tournament, so a little bit of the wet stuff will likely not have a major impact on the match.

CONGRATS ON THE GOLD!!!I hope everyone sees that the new tactic of incorporating everyone in the attack is what saved the US' Olympics. Before the US' attack relied almost entirely on Wambach-and this goes to show all those who DOUBTED the US that we still are NUMBER ONEGOOOOOOO OOSA!

VICTORY!!!!!!! one of the best games ever. you can read my twitter feed if you want a recap/play by play. towards the end it was too emotional to to much with.http://twitter.com/seanlb(you'll have to scroll down, depending on when you click it)Thanks for all the hard work on the blog! Let me know if you need an intern.

A well deserved win! Congratulations, ladies! We never stopped believing either. Also, kudos to the WNT blogger(s) for sharing this Olympic experience with us. Thanks for all the photos and videos. You Rock!
